This series documents portions of Nelson A. Rockefeller's public and private activities between 1968 and 1974. These records were created and maintained by members of Rockefeller's staff at his office at 22 West 55th Street, New York, also called the New York Office. Rockefeller was one of the first New York governors to maintain a permanent office in Manhattan. In general, Rockefeller was at the capitol in Albany only while the state legislature was in session or for special occasions. The management of his public duties was undertaken largely at the 55th Street office. Governor Rockefeller privately paid for the office, but many of the staff were public employees. When Rockefeller resigned as governor, on December 20, 1973, some members of the staff became his personal employees. Later, a handful of that staff became federal employees and moved to Washington, DC, when Rockefeller became U.S. Vice President on December 19, 1974.
